As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S8500 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic G95 will resolve more detail because of its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S8500 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
